Can the Volkswagen Tayron use 92 gasoline?
1 Answers
The Volkswagen Tayron can use 92 gasoline. Both 92 and 95 gasoline are suitable for the Tayron, but using 95 gasoline does not provide significant benefits. The recommendation from 4S shops is to use 92 gasoline. The differences between 92 and 95 gasoline lie in their naming conventions, compression ratios, and octane ratings. Relevant details are as follows: 1. Different naming conventions: 95 gasoline is the term used for 97 gasoline under the National V standard, while 93 gasoline is referred to as 92 under the National V standard. The product standards differ, with the National V standard having lower sulfur content and being more environmentally friendly. 2. Different compression ratios: 93 gasoline is suitable for engines with a compression ratio of 7-9, while 95 gasoline is for engines with a compression ratio of 8-10. Drivers should avoid frequently switching between gasoline grades. Additionally, mixing different gasoline grades is highly discouraged as it can confuse the engine. 3. Different octane ratings: Standard gasoline is composed of isooctane and n-heptane. A gasoline labeled as 92 means it contains 92% isooctane, while a gasoline labeled as 95 contains 95% isooctane.
